Johnny Williams: Slow Motion To The Top
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, March 1973
JOHNNY WILLIAMS and his first release on Philadelphia International provided us with one of the most interesting statistical records of last year. Apart from the fact that it stayed on the American Top 100 for more than six months, it also managed to climb the charts twice! Now the record is hovering just outside the Top 10 in this country.
